Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Deep Elm Blues
Version I know from Tennesee
When you go down to Deep Ellem,
To have a little fun,
have your 10 dollars ready,
when the policeman comes
Oh, sweet mama, your daddys got them deep ellem blues
Oh, sweet mama, your daddys got them deep ellem blues
Once I had a girl,
she meant the world to me,
she went down to deep ellem,
now she aint what she used to be.
Oh, sweet mama, your daddys got them deep ellem blues
Oh, sweet mama, your daddys got them deep ellem blues
Once I knew a preacher,
preached the bible pure and true
he went down to deep ellem,
now his preachin' days are through
Oh, sweet mama, your daddys got them deep ellem blues
Oh, sweet mama, your daddys got them deep ellem blues
When you go down to deep ellem,
keep your money in your hand,
cause those girls there in deep ellem,
they dont give a man a chance
Oh, sweet mama, your daddys got them deep ellem blues
Oh, sweet mama, your daddys got them deep ellem blues
